The fight songs that play after touchdowns at Colorado football games are now in the national spotlight. CU Athletics issued a statement calling a Barstool Sports report "completely false" that head football coach Deion Sanders told the Colorado marching band it can't play the school's fight song after his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, throws a touchdown pass. The Barstool report said the stadium will instead play one of Shedeur's rap songs. "The report that Coach Prime instructed the CU band to refrain from playing the fight song is completely false," the CU Athletic Department said. "The fight songs 'Glory, Glory, Colorado' and 'Fight CU' have been played after CU touchdowns and field goals for years and were played every time the Buffaloes scored against North Dakota State earlier this season. It’s common throughout college football for individual players to have small snippets of songs played during games." Traditionally, one of the university's fight songs, "Glory, Glory, Colorado," plays immediately after touchdowns, followed by another, "Fight CU," after the team's extra point attempt. During Colorado's home opener vs. North Dakota State, as seen in video highlights from the game, a snippet of Shedeur Sanders' song "Perfect Timing" played after his touchdown passes, followed by the band's "Glory, Glory, Colorado" and "Fight CU." Deion Sanders responded to the report about Colorado's fight song during a news conference Tuesday, challenging the media to do better. "Whoever reported that I told the band not to play the fight song, that's idiotic, ya'll know that," Sanders said. "When you saw that, you knew that was a lie. We've got to start having some kind of a accountability to this. I understand this is a free and open world, that not everybody is a journalist, everybody's not an analyst."
